Kodomo no Jikan is a Japanese manga series that started back in 2005, and is currently ongoing as of today. At one time, there was going to be an English version of the manga released by Seven Seas Entertainment, but they decided soon after to cancel publishing due to controversies over it's content. In 2007, the creator turned the manga into an Anime which was also called Kodomo no Jikan. This is also ongoing, but there hasn't been a new release for a good while.

Plot

The main story of Kodomo no Jikan is centered around twenty-three-year-old Aoki Daisuke, who has just landed his first teaching job as a grade school instructor at Futatsubashi Elementary School. He is placed in charge of Class 3-1, where one of his students, a mischievously precocious nine-year-old girl by the name of [[Kokonoe Rin, develops a crush on him and goes so far as to proclaim herself Aoki's girlfriend. She aggressively pursues her efforts to be with her teacher despite the fact that he will lose his job if she gets too close, a situation further complicated by the often complex, intertwining relationships existing between them and their respective friends, families, and peers.

Promotional Issues

Pilot (Released March 2, 2004)

The two-part pilot appeared in the premiere issue of the Japanese seinen manga magazine Comic High!. From this, the creator Kaworu Watashiya decided to take this "idea" and turn it into a full-fledged manga.
